Discovered it by chance. You can get it from the old mutant man who lives in an open building just around the corner from Henry's appartment. You need to give him lots of stuff before he gives you the gun though.

I gave him everything he wanted, then he just disappeared. Probably a bug. Is there even ammo for that anywhere?

I've been enjoying Far Cry 2 recently. Yes the checkpoints and driving are terrible. The secret is to take a boat or drive on the train tracks. The second area is worse than the first though. Forgot to turn the graphics settings up for the two in the middle.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/dylans-far-cry-2-realism-mod“This mod fixes what Ubisoft left unfixed. Dylan’s Realism Mod changes Far Cry 2 from an Africa-based sedan and pickup truck simulator into a (semi accurate)
African conflict simulator. Realistic weapon damage, recoil, realistic ammo loads and weapon reliability have been added, along with a more effective stealth suit, and revamped AI weapons. (No more SPAS12s and AR15s for militiamen). Checkpoint AI has been tweaked as well. Checkpoint guards now have a 60% chance to chase you after passing through, as opposed to 90%-100% in vanilla. Militiamen also communicate more frequently in combat, and use suppressing fire more often. However, you are now as vulnerable as the AI. A single burst of rifle fire can kill you, so you are probably going to need that extra ammo and stealth suit.”
Wow, that was ugly. I haven't tried it myself, but it seems interesting?

My monitor only goes up to 1366x768 resolution (the old one came down with a bad case of whacked with a bed), so that also makes it a bit uglier. I don't mind too much though, it keeps me from having to upgrade.

But no, I don't want to make combat more realistic. I have maxed gear and I die enough already. The bushes and grass obscure vision so much that half the time I'm just looking for one guy who's lopping off chunks of health. It takes a very short amount of time to kill most enemies once you see them. I also forget to save when I'm traveling, and since half the game is traveling I don't want to die more times.

I should clarify: The "ugly" part was how the copy-pasting ended up in the reply window. The last sentence was about the mod (but applies to the game as well). The game can be quite beautiful and your screenies were nice.

Oh, thank you. I'm not a graphics aficionado, but the game gives you so many opportunities to take good screenshots. Wish RPS proper would show the best screenshots of the week in a main post.

Also, I would recommend picking up Far Cry 2 for cheap on the next steam sale. I have a huge rant about it, but it's a not great game and a worthwhile experience, much like Alpha Protocol.
